Let me explain how to make money online using a method I started in September of last year: building a blog, putting an advertisement on it (I get paid a dollar or so every time the ad is clicked), and then getting traffic from a search engine.
This is also known as “SEO” – ranking your website on the search engines.
Does it Work? I know it works because I’ve been doing it less than a year, and I’ve already got my college paid for, and the income keeps increasing – meaning I’ll be graduating college with a fantastic income already. That’s more than most college graduates can say.
But don’t think I’m trying to build up a bunch of hype: this method of making money online will take a lot of hard work, planning and determination. If you’re willing to work hard to make money then this is for you – otherwise, you’ll have to find another way to make money on the Internet.
An SEO Income is a Passive Income
Ranking high on the search engines provides a steady source of traffic. For example, one of the keywords I’m result #2 for brings in about 800 visitors per day. These visitors consistently click on my advertisements, in the end making $40-50 per day. It’s not much, but it’s nothing to cough at.
The cool thing about this is that it’s a passive income – once you rank for a keyword, you don’t have to work every day to get paid. As long as your page is ranking for that search keyword, you’ll make the money. That’s why I’m a fan of SEOing for money. Read more…
Pay per click (PPC) is the easiest and most popular method used by website owners and bloggers in their respective niches to make money online. We only require a click on any of PPC ads shown on our website or blog to make some money of it. We can make from few cents to some dollars for each click made on a PPC ad. And as we are able to increase the popularity and traffic on our website, we surely are able to make more amount of money with PPC ads.
There are many advertising companies on the Internet that offering pay per click services to website owners and bloggers. Some of popular pay per click advertising companies are Google Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network, Adbrite, Bidvertiser and Clicksor. And among all of these advertising companies, Google Adsense is the most popular and used pay per click advertising program.
We need to apply for these advertising companies with a website or blog of our own before using their ads on our websites. And once our account gets approved, we are able to show their Ads on our websites by adding some Java Scripts code on our website where we want to show their ads. These companies give us lots of ad format and ad customizations options so that we can customize the ads according to our website design and our own interest. We can even customize these ads in such a manner that they look as a part of your website content.
So here is some brief introduction about some of most popular PPC programs available today on Internet for us to make extra amount of money with our websites:
- Google Adsense: is the oldest and most popular advertising program used by webmasters and bloggers around the world. Google offers many varieties of ads like text ads, image ads, ‘image and text ads’ and video ads. Adsense gives us the opportunity to make hundreds or even thousands of dollars per month with our website depending upon the kind of traffic and niche our website exists. Once we have added the Adsense ads on a webpage, Google shows ads according to the kind of content we are offering on that page and according to the user’s destination from where they are accessing our website.
- Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN): is very similar to Google Adsense as YPN is also offering the same kind of adverting options to its publishers as Google Adsense is offering. But the only drawback that we have with YPN is that, it is available for publishers in America only. So if you are in India or any other county except USA, you are not eligible for Yahoo publisher network. Read more…
While the rest of economy struggles under the weight of a world wide recession, affiliate marketing is partying like it’s 1999. If you were at the recent Ad:Tech show in San Fransisco, then you saw how completely packed it was. I’m not surprised by all this. During bad times, people are looking for other ways to make money because they fear they might lose their jobs. And one of the best way to make a little, or a lot, of extra cash is with affiliate marketing.
Tatto Media is one of the fastest growing affiliate networks. Currently ranked the 23rd largest ad network by reach, Tatto Media achieved their high level growth by offering affiliate services and technologies that cannot be had with any other affiliate networks.
Proprietary Tracking Technology
Tatto Media is one of the very few affiliate networks to invest the money to create their own offer and tracking system. Most affiliate networks make use of DirectTrack to save money. It takes a major financial commitment to create your own system.
The tracking system Tatto Media created is state of the art. The system is the only one that gives you an up-to-the-minute snapshot of your performance allowing you to optimize any element in real time. There’s no need to wait a day or more to find out if your offer is making any money. You can see it happening right on the screen. If you’re using a third party tracking service like Tracking 202 or Stats Junkie, Tatto Media’s SOAP interface will integrate live reporting in any application.
Self Serve Interface
This is my favorite feature of Tatto Media’s affiliate interface. The self serve system allows you to place your own cookies and tracking pixels on the conversion page without having to call your affiliate manager. This is a huge time saver. Add in the real time reporting mention above and you’ll see instantly if the stats/conversions are off between what Tatto media is showing and what your tracker is showing.
